Description

Zandvliet Estate Kalkveld Shiraz 750ml.

KALKVELD SHIRAZ

The Kalkveld single vineyard lies on the southern slope of the Hill of Enon, a magical hill that dominates the centre of Zandvliet itself. This hill, so-named after the complex conglomerate of limestone, pebbles and clay – the Enon Formation – is brushed daily by the southeasterly breeze cooling the vineyard. The unique terroir gives the wine its singular mineral footprint.

Cellarmaster’s Notes Delicately laired nose of plums, prunes & violets with hints of spice. These fruit flavours follow through onto a delicate palate with subtle wood integration that finishes with a velvety smooth long aftertaste.
